A continuation of the saga from Flickering Flame, Colonial Series book one of the Cullen family in Colonial Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The explosive war for independence from Great Britain was ignited in New England and soon spread southward to include all of the colonies. For a long time the issue was in doubt. Sturdy farmers, merchants, and frontiersmen were molded into superior fighting forces by General George Washington and stern, unlettered leaders born from the soil like General John Stark. The cost in lives and treasure was immense, but eventually, the torch of freedom was held high and overcame the might of one of the finest armies in the world. This is a moving story of love and sacrifice when a small colony had the audacity to fight for independence from their motherland.
